1. Perfected Elevator Pitch
It's important to focus on honing your core marketing messages and making sure that your tagline and the first two paragraphs of your website content are clear and compelling. You need to convey your business's unique selling proposition (USP) in just a few short words.
2. Clear Calls to Action
When marketing and business people say, “Why aren't our websites converting?” the response is usually a failure to provide clear calls to action. Most common CTAs are telephone numbers and “buy now” links, often the best site designs have value-driven CTAs, subtly guiding visitors to take the next steps. Calls to action are designed to engage visitors and guide them down paths to conversions. Visitors to your site require specific information before committing to purchases or inquiries, smart CTAs pre-empt the visitor's next steps and gently guide them through your site in the way you want.
Different business types require different calls to action - we'll make sure we point the right customers the right way.
3. High-Quality Content
Relevant content is one of the most important tools for driving traffic to your website. It shows your expertise and integrity and makes people want to buy from you. Quality content is essential for any business's online presence. Without quality content, you won't be able to effectively communicate your message, reach your audience, or explain why they need your product/service. Your web pages, emails, social media posts, etc., should be useful, informative, and engaging. They should be easy to understand and accessible so that people don't get bored or distracted by having to wade through too much text. We all have short attention spans these days, don't make the mistake of making your ideal client read more than they have to.
4. Gorgeous Visual Design
Visitors will be more interested in staying on your site if it’s aesthetically pleasing and visually intriguing.
The appeal of your website can go a long way towards establishing the quality of your business and your products. Your website should be attractive and visually engaging so visitors will feel compelled to stay on your site longer. In addition, they will be more likely to come back and tell others about your site.
We know how to make a site look great without being too distracting. We know what colours work together and what colours clash. We understand typography and font sizes. We know how to create a clean, simple, easy-to-navigate interface. Hiring us as your professional web designer is an investment in your future success. You'll save money in the short term because you won't have to pay someone else to do something you could easily do yourself. But in the long run, investing in a quality web designer will help you grow your online presence and increase your profits. That's right - working with our team of design experts will grow your business.
Once your website is fully designed, after the content is sorted and the wireframes approved, we ensure that it will look equally fabulous for desktop users, tablet users, and mobile users.
This includes having a separate menu and site navigation (such as a hamburger menu) designed specifically for mobile websites, ensuring your website loads quickly with the right type of caching and image delivery service integrated with your server and website hosting, and a wide range of other considerations. Responsive web design is absolutely critical to get right!
In our design consultation, before we nail down that creative brief with you, we'll examine some website designs you're inspired by and discuss how these sites might have some interesting features that might work for you, and then show others that we think might work for you. Our design solutions are always geared to what your business needs - no website templates or off-the-shelf products here!

Regardless of whether a company is in an offline brick-and-mortar or digital space, having a strong online presence can have a huge impact on its success. In this day and age, some businesses still don't realise that a majority of their customers will visit their website before making a purchase.
A good website is essential to generate more revenue, but having a high-quality website isn't enough if it doesn't attract visitors.

That’s a tricky question. What do you want your website to do? How much information is on it? How customised does it need to be? The answers to those questions go a long way to helping us form a good idea of what your website will cost.
We don’t say $X for a five page website because our experience tell us that doesn’t allow for enough discovery and wiggle room in a project. We find that most clients spend $7,000-$9000 on blog/portfolio websites and upwards of $9,000 on ecommerce websites for their website design and development.
This does not include copywriting, which is a project must unless you are an experience web copywriter or marketer.
This kinda has the same vibe as above – what do you need your website to do? How much information will it have? Also, pages are not the only way of organising information as you have blog and product categories, sub pages, forms and schemas to think about too.
This is why we love to chat about a project and organise your information first.

The time it takes to produce a website depends on the size and complexity of your site and the quality of content that you have ready to go.
No content = no website.
A basic website typically takes around 10 weeks from beginning to end IF you have all your content ready to roll.

Sarah is an absolute star at what she does. She has been absolutely amazing from start to finish and boy did I test her during our build... Oh and her process, so freaking professional. Outstanding in the industry. She was always so supportive and knew the solutions to all my problems!
People out there, I cannot recommend A Lined Design highly enough.
Working with Sarah at A Lined Design is hands-down the best business decision I’ve ever made. After years of trying to ‘teach myself’ how to do my own website I came to understand that I needed to delegate this all-important task to someone far more knowledgeable...
Sarah added more value to my project than I paid her in dollars. She’s a rare talent, a mixture of creativity and brains. The project paid for itself as I was able to free up my time and brain-space to actually work. I’m a client for life.
...Sarah and her team are professional, easy-going, creative, proactive, thought-provoking, groundbreaking (and any other adverb that describes bloody awesome). Not only does the way they do things create the most amazing websites but they also help you work through your business strategies, where/how you want your business to grow and the list goes on. I cannot recommend A Lined Design more highly. If you need a website done right the first time - this is your team! ... Thank you from Buy from Tasmania!
Sarah came highly recommended and she didn't disappoint... Sarah's creativity, patience, communication and sense of humour saw the process unfold with military precision, like an iron fist in a velvet glove. No question was too trivial, no number of revisions was too many and I really valued her empathy during a time when things were very new to me. I am telling everyone I know what a fabulous experience it was to build a website alongside Sarah & Dawn and more importantly what joyous women they are.
Sarah came highly recommended and it didn’t take long to see why. From the first meet to the last she has been extremely competent and professional, what meant more to me was her kindness and patience... Sarah’s onboarding process is outstanding and her project management skills top notch. I can honestly say what was delivered was beyond expectation and the logo, colour palette and branding guidelines add enormous value over and above the website.
I really enjoyed the process of working with Sarah at A Lined Design. It’s a really thorough process that she takes you through, especially when rebranding. I feel like the new brand and website represent me at what I offer as a business so clearly and on point in terms of the connection that I wanted to create with clients before they reached out to me. ...
Thanks Sarah!
When I launched the site Sarah had developed, I gained 8 new clients and even more leads within 48 hours. I think that says it all! Sarah is dedicated, talented and a joy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!
